Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute

It's awesome that this was made, but... Jeff Ross and Jim Carrey? I'm sure that guy was great in the 90s but he's such an annoying self-centered ego-maniac no one gets to speak or even have a moment on stage without him interrupting.

Even when he manages to sit still and let others say a few words you can see him smirking and looking around, wondering how we can steal some attention.

I can't stand that guy. Even now when we should be talking about the awesome Bob Saget I'm writing about Jim Carrey and hating every moment of it.

I assume Netflix just invited all the "big names" it could, regardless of their affiliation with the subject in question, as usual. So that's why we have hacks like Jeff Ross, the recently-slapped Chris Rock, and Jim Carrey, instead of people Saget actually hung around with.

Good thing Stamos was there, at least. He's a good dude.

A lot of people have remarked how awkward and messy some of this is and how some of the people involved seem uncomfortable or socially inappropriate or awkward or even inebriated etc. Etc.... That is precisely what made this feel so genuine to me because it was exactly like a real memorial service. People are ALWAYS awkward and tense or socially odd because death is a very hard thing for people to cope with and share on the same level.

SO yeah, this was not a perfectly scheduled, timed, and choreographed big budget show. Instead it was raw and real and messy and truly felt like a whole big bunch of people coming together to celebrate someone who meant a lot to all of them.

This is a heartfelt and funny tribute to Bob Saget, who died earlier this year. Jeff Ross, Jim Carey, John Stamos, Chris Rock and a number of other celebrities share stories and humor around the life of a very funny and beloved comedian. John Meyer and Jackson Browne provide stories and music. The setting is a live audience at The Comedy Store, which is very appropriate. Even if you are unfamiliar with bob Sage this is still worth watching because of the unbelievable chemistry between the parties here paying tribute to him. A very sad story but a very good special.

Tons of family, friends, comedians getting together for a tribute to the awesome bob saget. Don rickles belting out just a little love. Too many comedians to list here, but please check out that cast list on imdb. Some old clips of his standup work, his full house thing. Some new, spontaneous bits from the people gathering at the comedy store. Even the dirty stuff. A couple really pretty songs from john mayer and jackson browne. Great stuff. Now showing on the netflix. Watch it and have a laugh and a cry at the same time.

It was a different kind of tribute and I was going to stop it and watch something else. It was a celebration of Bob Saget's life and what he meant to everybody on the show. Some parts of it I had to fast forward because it got really boring. It could have been better. I would have liked to see clips of Full House/Fuller House. Jim Carrey looked really bad on it.
